Burstein-Applebee, in Kansas City, Mo., had a somewhat
interesting catalog.

Does anyone remember Olsen (or maybe it was Olsen)
Electronics, somewhere in Ohio, I believe.

We certainly had an Olsens in Milwaukee, WI. back in the late '50s
or early '60s. I remember (vaguely) buying a lot of parts for
home-brew ham radio projects. Probably prior to 1962 because I
wasn't 16 yet and couldn't drive there.

Does anybody in the South remember Specialty Distributing Company?

Or a whole genre of early-1960s parts jobbers, invariably built in concrete
block buildings painted pale green?

Although Specialty went away in the 1980s, I have encountered stores that
looked a lot like theirs, but were different companies, out west as late as
the 1990s.
